The international work aimed at replacing refrigerants with products with less environmental impact has been ongoing for decades. A framework of global agreements aimed at phasing out the climate-impacting refrigerants has been adopted.

Beijer Ref has its own manufacturing establishments for power packs in Europe and South Africa. We offer our customers both standardised products and customised solutions with the latest environmental technology.

Beijer Ref is observing a so-called quiet period in connection with its quarterly reporting. The ’quiet period’ consists of one month prior to the reporting date in the respective quarter. No financial communication with the media, investors, analysts and others will be made during the ‘quiet period’ prior to the publication of the quarter’s results.

New F-gas regulation

June 27, 2014

Within the EU, a new F-gas regulation has been published in April 2014.

Within the EU, a new F-gas regulation has been published in April 2014 which increases the demands for the phasing out of HFC refrigerants with a high greenhouse impact. The F-gas regulation also regulates the authority for intervening in the refrigerant cycle in order to avoid leakage, all in order to reduce the discharges. The new F-gas regulation will also regulate the imported volume of refrigerants into the EU with a falling import volume until 2030. This is to give owners of installations time to adapt their selection of refrigerant.

HFC = HydroFluoroCarbons, high GWP impact

Refrigerants’ impact on the climate is measured in two terms, ODP and GWP. The abbreviation, ODP, stands for Ozone Depletion Potential (the unit for measuring the impact on the ozone layer) and GWP for Global Warming Potential (the unit for measuring the impact of the greenhouse effect).
